Medea is a powerful film that disrupts traditional cinematic hierarchies by prioritizing the voices of displaced individuals. It frames their struggles as a complex assertion of ability to act against systemic oppression. The film's greatest strength lies in its focus on the voices of Middle Eastern and North African women, providing a platform for often underrepresented identities. It also offers a sophisticated critique of Western institutional power. However, the film lacks explicit representation of LGBTQ+ identities and does not center specific neurodivergent or physical disabilities.

Official Synopsis
María José is 25. Her life moves back and forth between the monotony of class at the university, her eternally distant parents, and a couple of alternative spaces where she can explore her own and others’ limits. One day, she meets Javier, a boy she really likes and tries to have a relationship with, but her behaviour starts changing radically. In fact, she’s a few months into her pregnancy and no one knows.
